None. IMHO animals species that are not domesticated should stay in the wild.

That piglet looks pretty domesticated.

Unfortunately there are no "small" pigs. They are babies. And they grow into giant hogs. Which is not an animal most people are prepared to keep. So I'd veto a pig on those grounds.

For what it's worth, ferrets are domesticated (from the European polecat) and generally speaking just die if they end up in the wild.
